The making of Bluebell

Screen printing is a skilled process using large stencils stretched across printing tables to build designs layer by layer. Two artisans work in unison, pressing ink evenly through the screen to ensure consistency across the fabric.

Sita Bluebell Success Story

The dress is very elegant yet whimsical. I ordered 2XL due to chest size, but at 165cm it was a lot fabric and also quite long, so I reordered in L and it was perfect everywhere in that it looked much like the larger model wore it in the advertising, so I was happy. However, I have plumper arms and it was a tad tight around the arm. I queried with the very helpful staff at DOI who responded quickly & decided to try a fix. Some dresses are made with elastic sewn in, which makes it impossible to alter them. Happily the DOI craftspeople have made the band a simple elastic that you can access easily to alter yourself. The dress now fits me perfectly. It is very casual but not cheap looking. Given the climate where I live is very hot I will get the opportunity to wear it a lot. The fabric is beautiful, but I won't be doing any cooking or gardening it as it is thin. It has a sheath sewn in, so not transparent, but it is lovely and floaty. It is a flattering style for a fuller figure and the colour tones are true to the photos and excellent for the summer complected.

Busty Girl Advice

This is the most beautiful dress in a dreamy, soft cotton fabric. I feel like I stepped out of Pride & Prejudice. As a curvier girl, I read every review trying to find more info about sizing with no luck, so here's my take: I'm a US 16 with an hourglass shape, and I ordered the 2x and it fits like a dream. My bust is 40DD, and I think if I was even a bit larger in the chest, I would need a 3x. I waffled between the XL (my usual size) and the 2x. I'm really glad I went with the 2x as it would have been way too small in the chest otherwise. The 2x is the perfect size, I can wear a bra with it - a must, so I might need to sew up the keyhole - and the fabric sort of flows around your body in a way that's flattering even though it doesn't have a defined waist. I want to live in it!

What a lovely dress

I almost never write reviews, but I loved this dress so much I had to leave one! I'm normally a 4-6 (US) but am 30 weeks pregnant. Ordered this in a size small in hopes it'll work for newborn photos and after, and it's perfect. The bust is the most fitted spot, but as someone with a large bust, smaller ribcage and narrow shoulders, it fits perfectly both pregnant and I know it will postpartum too. The fabric is so flowy too! I'm 5'7, and length was perfect.

Boho Blue meets Bridgerton

Updating my Gold Coast 2025 summer wardrobe so I was looking for floaty relaxed maxi dresses preferably with sleeves and the Sita dress ticked all the boxes, arrived in record time and fits like a glove. The fabric is so soft, love that it is lined, it looks and feels lovely on my skin and the colour is gorgeous. I am a size 14 and I ordered an XL as I like a relaxed fit. I know I will be wearing this dress all year round.

We’re so pleased that you’re enjoying your new dress. Thank you for sharing! 🤩

Well made but unfortunately medium was way too big on me and I’m 5.5 130 lbs so I returned

Daughters of India
